Environmental Policy

Orbita Systems Ltd is committed to operating in a way that reduces our environmental impact and supports continual improvement in environmental performance. This policy sets out our approach to environmental responsibility across our operations, supply chain, and the services we provide.

Scope

This policy applies to:

  • Our offices and day-to-day operations
  • Business travel and commuting (where we can influence decisions)
  • Procurement of goods and services
  • Use of IT equipment and cloud/hosting services
  • Waste generation and disposal

Our commitments

We will:

  • Comply with applicable environmental laws and regulations and maintain appropriate controls to meet our obligations.
  • Prevent pollution where practicable by reducing emissions, waste, and the use of hazardous materials.
  • Use resources efficiently, including energy, water, and materials.
  • Prefer lower-impact purchasing by considering environmental performance when selecting suppliers and products.
  • Promote awareness and accountability by providing information and guidance so team members can make environmentally responsible choices.
  • Monitor and improve by setting objectives, tracking progress, and reviewing this policy periodically.

How we put this into practice

Energy and emissions

  • Use energy-efficient equipment and power management settings where feasible.
  • Prefer low-carbon options for heating, lighting, and office equipment when changes are made.
  • Reduce emissions from travel by using remote meetings as appropriate and selecting lower-carbon travel modes when feasible.

Waste and recycling

  • Minimize waste through careful purchasing, reuse, and responsible disposal.
  • Recycle paper, packaging, and electronics where services exist.
  • Use digital-first processes to reduce printing and paper consumption.

Procurement and suppliers

  • Consider environmental credentials in supplier selection (for example, waste practices, packaging, and energy use).
  • Prefer products with longer lifespans, repairability, and lower packaging where feasible.

IT equipment and hosting

  • Extend device lifetimes through maintenance and responsible replacement cycles.
  • Dispose of e-waste through certified recycling or take-back programs.
  • Consider the environmental impact of hosting and third-party services when selecting providers.

Roles and responsibilities

  • Leadership is responsible for supporting this policy and ensuring it remains appropriate for our business.
  • All team members are expected to follow this policy and incorporate environmental considerations into day-to-day decisions.

Measurement and review

We will review this policy periodically, and update it as needed to reflect changes in our operations, legal requirements, or improvement priorities.
